Quotes
I didn’t want to learn about nutrition if it didn’t involve whole foods.
It felt like mooshing problems around on the surface which didn’t go deeper into the body.
I’m floored at the connection between food nutrition and our mental health.
It’s really about how to return to wellness.
We are increasingly disconnected from what’s real and right for us.
People think anxiety and feeling low is normal not is there a way to be without this?
We have a primal instinct wanting and needing to be accepted by our tribe.
We can all have a deep sense of limiting beliefs.
We need to think about how am I nurturing my gut microbiome?
The brain changes the body and the body changes the brain.
Education is the biggest impotence to change.
When you know better you do better.
Anxiety and stress is optional.
It can all be learned.
